Which outcome occurs when a large transport aircraft experiences icing conditions and subsequent hindered elevator movement?

A)Increased fuel consumption develops
B)Pitch control becomes impaired
C)Yaw instability gets exaggerated
D)Roll authority shows reduction

💡 Explanation

Impaired elevator movement directly affects the aircraft’s ability to control its pitch because the elevator deflects to change the airfoil's camber, which causes a pitching moment. Therefore, pitch adjustments become less effective, rather than affecting yaw or roll primarily.
